But it sounds great when you’re dead

So lets see… its been months since I bothered to really update this thing so there is a hell of a backlog although I am not going to cover 100% of anything since I don’t have the patience to update 3 months worth of my life.

Some highlights, been traveling a bit since November. made it down to Chicago and hooked up with some coworkers and other friends for drinks the weekend before the inauguration. Great time and the best vacation I have taken since I went to Colorado in 07. Other then that I have been down to Eau Claire a few times as well, once for some Christmas stuff with my family, once for a going away party for a good buddy. Hopefully he has a good time in the sandbox.

Work has continued to be work. Its a pain in the ass some days and great other days. It continues to pay the bills and give me enough money to let me play and enjoy my life so I can’t really complain about that. Obviously it paid enough for me to buy the TV pictured a few posts down cash in hand. been taking time off here and there which is helping with both the tedium and the fact that I am not enjoying my work.

Have a lovely 5 day weekend coming up towards the end of the month that I am looking forward to in a huge way. Mostly looking forward to having no plans and no obligations that won’t be taken care of ahead of time. I will probably get bored partway through but for right now it sounds like the best shit since sliced bread.

As previously mentioned Fallout 3 has eaten my life. There is a reason I didn’t pick it up at release and I am glad for that. I have sunk about 2 work weeks worth of my life into the first playthrough. Its kind of frightening how engrossed I get in that game and as such, after I finish beating the ever living snot out of this playthrough I imagine I will put it on y shelf and try to not play it for a while. I think that would be best but we will see how successful I am at that. Other then that I have bought Gears 2 and started playing it somewhat. Made for a good after valentines day get together with a buddy. So far i am enjoying it although not as much as Fallout.

The other major time sucker in my life right now is the Dark Tower series. Since I restarted it after christmas I have made my way to book 5. I read a half a book in a day and then put it down for 4-5 days and then pick it up again. So far its a great series and I understand why it was recommended to me so long ago by so many people. i am thoroughly enjoying it.

I am certainly ready for summer to roll around. Seems like just yesterday that I was pulling the bike out of storage last year. Plus I am looking forward to just sitting in the morning on my balcony and enjoying my coffee. On the other hand I can admit that I do enjoy winter to some extent. Just ready for it to be over now.

Other then that… life continues and I continue to enjoy it. There are plenty of other things going on that I don’t want to comment on, for various reasons, so this ends the update.
